[ti: ’39]
[length: 03:31]
[00:34.76]In the year of ’39
[00:37.31]Assembled here, the volunteers
[00:39.68]In the days when lands were few
[00:44.61]Here the ship sailed out
[00:46.86]Into the blue and sunny morn’
[00:49.58]The sweetest sight ever seen
[00:53.89]And the night followed day
[00:56.57]And the storytellers say
[00:58.70]That the score brave souls inside
[01:03.43]For many a lonely day
[01:05.81]Sailed across the milky seas
[01:08.21]Never looked back, never feared, never cried
[01:13.08]Don’t you hear my call?
[01:15.20]Though you’re many years away
[01:17.65]Don’t you hear me calling you?
[01:22.35]Write your letters in the sand
[01:24.75]For the day I take your hand
[01:27.05]In the land that our grandchildren knew
[01:31.77]
[02:02.08]In the year of ’39
[02:04.42]Came a ship in from the blue
[02:06.82]The volunteers came home that day
[02:11.24]And they bring good news of a world so newly born
[02:16.28]Though their hearts so heavenly weigh
[02:20.73]For the Earth is old and grey
[02:23.30]Little darling went away
[02:25.52]But, my love, this cannot be
[02:30.03]For so many years have gone
[02:32.78]Though I’m older, but a year
[02:34.97]Your mother’s eyes, from your eyes, cry to me
[02:39.65]Don’t you hear my call?
[02:42.09]Though you’re many years away
[02:44.33]Don’t you hear me calling you?
[02:49.07]Write your letters in the sand
[02:51.46]For the day I take your hand
[02:53.75]In the land that our grandchildren knew
[02:58.73]Don’t you hear my call?
[03:01.15]Though you’re many years away
[03:03.24]Don’t you hear me calling you?
[03:07.90]All your letters in the sand
[03:10.46]Cannot heal me like your hand
[03:12.87]For my life, still ahead, pity me
